Jack 12

I once dreamt I was a unicorn Very few believing I’d even been born I once dreamt I was a shark Roaming oceans deep and dark I once dreamt I was an eagle soaring high With complete freedom up in the sky I once dreamt I was a massive crocodile Consuming anything that entered my part of the Nile I once dreamt I was cute and cuddly when I was a Koala bear Sleepy and docile, loved by everyone almost everywhere I once dreamt I was a dragon breathing fire Spectacular shows and always available for hire I once dreamt I was a dolphin, communicating in a different way But only other dolphins could understand what I was trying to say I once dreamt I lived high in the mountains when I was a Yak Solid, dependable, able to carry huge loads on my back I once dreamt I was a Camel, strange really to think Wandering about for days with nothing to eat or drink I once dreamt I was a fish living as part of a massive shoal Safety in numbers with surviving the day our only goal I once dreamt I was a bright colourful Hummingbird Silly, that couldn’t really be me, how absurd When I awoke, in the mirror I could clearly see I was none of these, I was simply plain old me Dreams have meanings many people say So maybe I’m all of these things in some slight way
